I bet he does use Devuan, cause he reported the bug there as well:

Incompatible with debian libgudev-1.0-0 version 238-2

https://bugs.devuan.org/769

I was told reportbug in Devuan relays reports to packages that Devuan 
developers  did not change to Debian bug tracker. I'd prefer it to give 
a clear hint in case that the bug was from a Devuan install. I see a 
reason why not to, however I do not think that sneaky approach will work 
well.

Best,
